Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRU9
Source: Laptop Mag
Just because the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i is a budget laptop doesn’t mean it needs to be a cheap laptop. I’d be OK with the performance and the display — I wouldn’t be thrilled with it, and neither should you — but one has to make some sacrifices with an affordable laptop. If the battery life lasted more than eight hours, that would have raised the Slim 3i to another level, but at just over 6 hours, it’s one of the shortest-lived non-gaming laptops we’ve tested in recent memory. Do yourself a favor and opt for the Acer Swift Go 14 (2024). For $100 more, you get longer battery life, a bright and colorful display, and much more powerful performance. That’s a steal when comparing the two and worth saving up for. Even at a steep discount, you could find something better than the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i.

If you need an unpretentious device for standard home or office tasks, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Gen 9 (15, Intel) is a good choice when it’s combined with an SSD and dual-channel memory. Yep, don’t forget that the base configurations come with a TN panel, UFS storage, and just 8GB of soldered RAM in single-channel mode. These ones should be avoided unless your budget is extremely tight. The overall performance of our laptop with Core 5 120U, dual-channel RAM, and an NVMe is good. The only con is the slow write speeds of the SSDs which cause slow app installations.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
